Kal Penn: Rep.-elect Tulsi Gabbard is my 'homie'

The 35-year-old entertainer
also included a link to a Change.org petition urging Hawaii Gov. Neil
Abercrombie (D) to appoint the soon-to-be congresswoman to Inouye’s Senate
seat.

Inouye died last week at the age
of 88.

When a Twitter user
responded to Penn’s message about Gabbard, writing, “great more war hawks,”
Penn replied, “aww booo so cynical & negative. Be part of the solution.
#AllLove #HugItOut.”

Penn has played the
free-spirited and funny-smelling-cigarette-loving character Kumar Patel in a
number of “Harold and Kumar” movies. He has also had recurring roles on the
TV series “House” and “How I Met Your Mother.”
